ORGANIZATION
Team communication in one place
Work in Slack happens in collaborative spaces called channels. Conversations and files related to your tasks stay organized in the appropriate channel for that project or initiative, allowing you to focus on specific tasks and manage your time as needed.

PRIORITIZATION
Bring balance to delegation and deadlines
Collaboration in Slack happens in real time — you can find support or delegate tasks in the flow of conversation. And when those conversations happen in channels, you can prioritize your effort on just the tasks and work that need your attention.
